I always wait in happy anticipation of my favourite shrub‘s heart lifting display, usually at the end of Dec, when the Daphne bursts into blossom heralding longer days & Spring on the horizon. Today she’s blooming beautifully, wafting her gorgeous scent around the garden. And the camellia‘s early!

We were all having nibbles in the garden today. It was so mild and sunny. I was joined by Mr Greedy Guts, Mr Blackbird, Master Squirrel - who is brazen, Mr Robin, and the lovely finches. Being in nature is good for the soul & I’m so blessed to have a garden to enjoy it. #Nature🙏

Our last night in Wicklow for this year. After torrential rain this morning we were gifted with the most beautiful sunset and moonrise. Season’s end, sadness to be leaving and gratitude for this heavenly place. 🙏

In the horrors with post radiation stuff. Found a #LianeMoriarity book. (The superb #MaxineHitchcock her editor, was once mine. 💜) First time to read her. Oh how I forgot myself. How I laughed out loud. How I immersed myself in her character’s lives, desperate to see what happened. #PerfectRead

There’s an almost imperceptible change in the light. The garden, like an aging film star, a little blowsy but still beautiful. The merest hint of a turn on the leaves. I won’t mention the A word although it’s almost a month since the longest day. #TimeIsFlying

PATRICIA SCANLAN Author @patriciascanlan.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

I’ve actually been offered bribes to let the gals and the nieces - avid fans of #ciaraGeraghty - read #LateLearner first. Oh the power. (Can I be bought?🤔😂) Always great anticipation for publication day for one of our most superbly talented #IrishWriters. 🙏 @lynnedrew.bsky.social

Drove to Wexford to put flowers on the grave. Candles lit for all. Graveyard as peaceful and uplifting as ever & it didn’t rain, nor when we lunched in Cois na hAbhann, or when driving past our favourite ladies, in Camolin. But the heavens certainly opened just as we got back to Wickla!☔️😳 #RainsCame

It’s very heartwarming when a dear friend and fellow author goes to the trouble of taking photos for you, of your book in a shop window. Thanks my darling #CiaraGeraghty and thanks dear #Easons and @gillhessassociates.bsky.social for the great summer promotion for #CityGirlsForever. 🙏🙏🙏😘

It’s a sit-in-the-shade sort of day because it’s a scorcher. The crop is rippling in the breeze and my first sweet pea has blossomed. It’s so uplifting to just sit and enjoy the beauty and balm of nature.
